THE DAILY STAR :: News :: Local News :: Philanthropy needs its own revolution, forum agrees: "BEIRUT: The bottom-up style upheavals that are testing regimes in the region should spread to the philanthropic sector too.

This was the message expressed by multiple participants on the first day of the Arab Foundations Forum’s annual meeting Wednesday. Founded in 2007 with the aim of developing philanthropy in the Arab world, AFF is now comprised of 34 member organizations. This year’s gathering is titled “Towards Effective Philanthropy in the Arab Region,”and is taking place at the Bristol Hotel through Friday."
